TEAM V architecture completes Simmerh\u00fbs Island Home\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the Dutch island<\/strong><\/a> of Terschelling, Team V Architecture has completed Simmerh\u00fbs, a prefabricated<\/strong><\/a> holiday home that maintains a custom, site-specific character. Despite being constructed from a standardized, off-site timber-frame<\/b><\/a>, which was transported on just three lorries and assembled on-site within three days, the house<\/strong><\/a> uses its playfully asymmetrical roof to blend prefabrication and sustainable construction with a home that is intimately connected to its surroundings. Eight solar panels<\/strong><\/a>, colour-matched to the ceramic<\/strong><\/a> roof tiles, are discreetly integrated into the roof, giving the house an A++ energy label.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Nothing is standard in this home,\u2019 says Do Janne Vermeulen,<\/strong> co-founder and director of Team V Architecture.<\/p>\n

ASYMMETRIC ROOF FOR PLAYFUL EFFECT<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The compact 75m\u00b2 holiday home by Team V Architecture Studio<\/strong><\/a> is defined by its subtle, yet striking asymmetry, leading to a highly efficient structure. The roof, made of large, flat, rust-colored ceramic tiles, each hand-glazed by Royal Tichelaar<\/strong><\/a>, is unexpectedly rotated by five degrees in relation to the floor plan. This playful effect continues throughout the interior, which balances functionality with a serene, minimalist Japanese aesthetic. Finished with wild pine veneer and ash, the interior design by Kranen\/Gille<\/b><\/a> offers varied sightlines and creative perspectives of the home.<\/p>\n

PREFABRICATED TIMBER CONSTRUCTION WITH HIGH ENERGY EFFICIENCY<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Built by contractor Vreeker B.V., the home combines timber construction with full insulation, triple-glazed windows, solar panels with power storage, a heat pump, and a rainwater system that supplies purified water to both house and garden.\u00a0On the church-facing side, the gutter line runs parallel to the ridge, creating a varying overhang, while on the opposite side it diverges, producing a sloping roof edge.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Commissioned by Dutch cultural entrepreneur Anne van der Zwaag, the home is furnished with art and design from her own collection and serves as a unique getaway available for vacation rentals. Located in a culturally and historically sensitive area, Simmerh\u00fbs respects its surroundings through its modest size, closed street-facing fa\u00e7ade, and natural tones. From design to construction, the local community was actively involved, transforming the house into a living part of Terschelling\u2019s social and ecological landscape. The community continues to care for the home and its garden, reinforcing its role as a shared, sustainable, and site-specific asset.<\/p>\n
